so everyone say hello to my babies ....
=]
door are about 90% ready for paint... dents and scratches removed and a few coats of primer are on.
rear bumper is almost there too.
trunk and spoiler are prepped. just needing final sanding.
rear quarter panels and roof are next in line
but here is a preview of the rolled rear quarters
carbon hood is ready for final sand before paint.
everything has been stripped.
i am doing all of this to a spare jdm one piece headlight i have since its my first time... just in case i **** up.
so i go tthe headlight all apart and i took out the low beam reflector bowl so i can mount the projector to it which will allow me to use the oem adjusters to adjust the beam once its all together.
here is the reflector bowl... i drilled out 4 holes i measures to mount the projector to it.
here is a before and after of the back of the projectors. i cut out the packs to allow the bulb to fit with no problem. i trimmed off the stock mounting points for clearance issues. and then i drilled out 4 holes where the 2 halves of the projector meet. i got a long threaded pole from home depot to use to mount them to the reflector bowls.
so i cut the threaded pole and used some washers, nuts and thread lock to hold the 2 halves of the projector together. i was then able to push the projector into place with the cut threaded poles going through the holes i previously cut in the reflector bowl in order to use locking nuts from the back of the bowl to hold the projector in place.
here is a practice cut for a home made shroud made from a stove top drop bowl. a flange of sorts will be used on top of this to clean it up a little bit. i got this idea from lilboi on bayareaprelude.com
